It's treason then.

Every time I consider watching them I remember how they butchered logic and character development. Or plotlines that could be removed with no impact whatsoever.

The only thing I can say is that the dialogs are at least not as shallow as in the prequel trilogy.

I trid to re-watch those a few weeks ago and.... No. I couldn't stand the moments they opened their mouths to speak their lines, sorry to say.

As soon as it was evident the new movie was just the old movie, but with an even bigger no moon that could blow up 7 planets at once with red lasers instead of green, I was over it. Seeing the fucking laser arches in a space chase in the other movie just killed any desire to watch more.

Nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

As an idea, it's fantastic with limitless potential. As a finished product, it's two and a half good movies, and two good series.

Narcos cast members unironically did more for Star Wars than the Skywalker family ever did.

Star Wars died when it was sold out to a fascist company.

People absolutely hated the prequels when they came out. They were a joke with badly written dialogue and cartoon characters, at least for the adults of that era. But when the children of that era grew up, these children looked at the prequels with fondness and the bad dialogue became modern viral memes.

So maybe the same will happen with the sequels. The only issue is that social media have ruined the brains of children. I feel all conventional media will soon become irrelevant.

No one has the attention needed to watch a movie anymore, not even in the background while surfing the internet. People just have youtube or twitch or tiktok in the background.

They were fine to see once, but I have no interest in seeing them again, unlike the OG trilogy.

The Force Awakens was cool, I would always defend that movie.

But 8 and 9 were incredibly bad movies and bad star wars media.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

They should have had Jon Favreau write and direct all three of them.

[–] pno2nr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Somehow they're still making these movies.

The first two thirds or so of The Force Awakens is fine. Everything that follows is utter dogshit.
